HERCULES Stuffing Boxes
The Hercules Difference
Hercules stuffing boxes are recognized for superior quality and design unsurpassed in the industry. Hercules originated cone-style packing and it quickly became the industry standard. Now with the advent of DOME packing, Hercules has introduced a new concept destined to become an even greater standard. Both cone and DOME packing provide a tight seal without the excessive tightening required for compression-type packing. Certain Hercules stuffing boxes have a unique misaligning feature that reduces the need for exact alignment with the pumping unit. The newer inverted cone and DOME style packing automatically compensate for flow line pressures. Today, Hercules continues to set standards for quality and dependability in the oil field with new packing designs, materials and the most extensive line of stuffing box models. No wonder production personnel think of Hercules first.

DOME Packing
Rod sizes: 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-5/16", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-3/4". Dramatically reduces stuffing box failures & maintenance costs. Rubber packing with unique PTFE seal ring. PTFE seal ring minimizes contact between rubber & polished rod. Low coefficient of friction. Less heat build-up. Lower drag on polished rod. Unique bowl shape converts vertical compression forces into radial forces for a tight seal around polished rod. Automatically compensates for changes in flow line pressure. One-time conversion kit to retrofit most cone packed stuffing boxes.
Conversion kit for DOME Packing and Lub Upper Gland. Also used for Big Stuff Stuffing Boxes.
A set of DOME packing consists of three pieces of rubber packing, each of which has a split PTFE seal ring sandwiched inside.

HERCULES Stuffing Box Packing
Cone & Chevron Packing
The most important feature of stuffing box packing is long-lasting performance. R&M Energy Systems continually tests new and better materials to meet the demands for ever-changing well conditions. Extensive field tests make certain new packing stands up to stringent durability and performance standards. Cone packing is available in sizes for all polished rods 1" through 1-3/4" in sets of 4 (3 top cone and 1 bottom cone) and 5 (4 top cone and 1 bottom cone). Soft Cone Packing For sweet crudes with high oil-to-water ratios and low sand content. Hard Cone Packing For sweet crudes with low oil-to-water ratios. Slick Pack (Compound S) For reducing polished rod noise (squeaking) in noise-sensitive locations on crudes with high oil-to-water ratios and low sand content. Special Lubricated For sweet crudes and wells without constant flow. Heavy-Duty For prolonged service on sweet crudes and wells without constant flow. PTFE Filled For sweet crudes and wells with long stroke and fast pumping cycles. CONE PACKING Material Soft Hard
Slick Pack with Teflon Flakes (Compound ST) For reducing polished rod noise (squeaking) in noise-sensitive locations on sweet crudes that pump off or have long stroke and fast pumping cycles. Compound C For steam injection wells producing sweet crudes. Compound D For steam injection wells where polished rod scoring is a concern. Compound H For steam injection wells. Compound G* For H2S and CO2 wells. Split Cone Packing
